Daily Dialogue — November 2, 2019

David: I’ve just had a nightmare.
Nurse Alex: Not to worry. I’ve just the thing.

— An American Werewolf in London (1981), written by John Landis

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Nightmare.

Trivia: John Landis wrote the screenplay for this film following an incident while shooting Kelly’s Heroes (1970) (while he was a go-fer) in the countryside of Yugoslavia. While driving along a country road with a colleague, Landis encountered a gypsy funeral. The body was being buried in a massively deep grave, feet first, while wrapped in garlic, so he would not rise from the dead.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Actually, the ‘thing’ has got poor Nurse Alex as John Landis tops one nightmare with another.
